Good morning all!
Snow lovers today wish they were in south Jersey this morning, where they are getting pummeled with 6-12" of snow! Instead, only scattered flurries are likely here, nor does there appear to be a significant storm anytime in the next week or so. The trade off, however, is ridiculously cold temperatures for this time of year, and highs on Sunday, for example, may not reach the mid-20s! Yikes! I don't think we're off the hook yet for big snowstorms either, spring appears to still be really elusive and far away, based on the long-term computer models. In fact, most indicate that this will go down as one of the coldest ends to March on record- if that happens, we will certainly have one of the top 5 coldest Marches on record!!!! It's been a brutal month- but at least we miss a nor'easter by about 50 miles!
Today in weather history- March 17, 1952- A 70 year long ban on using the word 'tornado' in forecasts- due to concerns it would panic people more than it would help- is lifted and the first Tornado watch on record is issued by NOAA.
